NCBA CLUSA support of international communities began in 1945 when we participated in the founding of CARE (Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe) to aid in rebuilding war torn Europe. In 1953, NCBA CLUSA began working with Indian farmers to form a cooperative helping to revolutionize the nation’s fertilizer industry. Today, that cooperative known as the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), is the largest memeber-owned fertilizer cooperative in the world. For more than 60 years, NCBA CLUSA has been active in more than 100 countries through over 200 programs transforming rural communities, building democratic institutions, and providing technical assistance to group businesses, civil society organizations (CSOs), non-governmental organizations, local governments, and farmer associations and cooperatives.
